Rare opportunity in the Dearing Historic District. The Sylvanus-Morris House, circa 1865, is named after the first Dean of the UGA Law School. The property has not changed hands in 35 years and is completely move-in ready. This gorgeous grand dame with its attractive front porch sits just half a block from Milledge Avenue and is a rare blend of historic presence and everyday convenience.

The Sylvanus-Morris House, circa 1865, is named after the first Dean of the UGA Law School. The property has not changed hands in 35 years and is completely move-in ready. This gorgeous grand dame with its attractive front porch sits just half a block from Milledge Avenue and is a rare blend of historic presence and everyday convenience. Inside, the home offers a unique, yet highly functional floor plan anchored by a true center hall on the main level that creates natural flow throughout. A dedicated office on the main level beckons the next writer, thinker, or remote professional. The living room features a gas “coal” fireplace that adds spirit and warmth to an already soul-inviting space. From there, the layout moves seamlessly into the spacious dining room, through a butler’s pantry, and into an eat-in kitchen that is accented by a brick fireplace. This is the kind of inviting kitchen that makes you want to linger. Then, step out into the vaulted covered porch that overlooks the delightful garden and fountain below. Heart pine floors and tall ceilings run throughout the home. The laundry room is conveniently located on the main floor with exterior access. The current owners thoughtfully brought the home into the modern era and have maintained it meticulously along the way. Recent updates include an encapsulated crawl space, new water heater, new upstairs HVAC, newer architectural shingle roof, new refrigerator, and more. Location truly defines this property. One of the sellers, a UGA professor, walked to work for decades. The children, now grown, walked to CCHS. Downtown Athens and Sanford Stadium are just a short walk away. This is not just a home; it is a lifestyle choice, and one that continues to improve with each passing year. A new Publix is scheduled to open soon just a block away on Milledge and Broad. Priced to sell and ready for immediate occupancy. Some furnishings are available to remain with the home. Easy to show and ready to go. Call listing broker for appointment.
